Check the battery. If it's a wet cell all the electrolite, (acid), might have drained out and you will need to give her a most thorough bath where the drainage occoured. Welcome to the site!!

Well I left the garage door open a little one night and it got out when I wasn't looking. Found it wimpering and shivering in the ditch in the morning. And the damned thing was pregnant too.

 Welcome to the World's Greatest Goldwing Site dave481! Sorry to hear about your mishap. Check the battery as roscoe said. I'd check the oil level in the engine and the rear drive if the bike was tipped over more than flat on it's side. Ditto for the coolant. So what happens when you try to start it? Does it crank normally? I'm assuming you checked the kill switch, having that on wouldn't be a first with hard starting 'Wings. If it cranks but won't start, pull a plug or use a spare one, reconnect it and lay it on the head and crank the engine to see if there's any spark. Let us know what you find out so we'll have a bit more to work with.

Welcome "dave481", incase you were not warned - some of the nuts you might find kicking around here are cross threaded. But you still couldn't be in better hands.

We need to know what happens when you hit the start button; Does nothing happen (are the lights working), or does it crank over but not start? Give us as much detail as you can and we will be able to help.

Maybe he is from Mars and talking about his spaceship  I have seen pictures of things like this happening... We need to get a little bunny with a pancake on his head and batteries in his back to jump start it

Turns out it was just Richard Simmons. When I asked him who the father was he got mad and asked me if it thought he had eyes in the back of his head or something.

The symphony of advice is so refreshing for one who has been tipped in a ditch all night . Since we haven't heard a response it may be that he is trying to remove said tipped object from said ditch. At any rate the plethora of help available here will meet any challenge . Its good to know that we can have a serious response to our troubled isssues like falling in a ditch and can't get up.
